00:00I think Auburn can beat anybody and I don't certainly think Izzo has that type of team

00:09anymore in East Lansing.

00:10I've seen him but I really don't believe, I love Danny Hurley, great coach, he's insane

00:17as well.

00:18He reminds me of Bob Knight but he, I do not believe that's a national championship team

00:22this time.

00:23He got back to back but not this one.

00:26It's too, I'm not going to dismiss UConn yet.

00:28UConn, you know, I remember last year UConn had a couple of flashes where people thought

00:33they weren't the team to beat anymore so it's still early, Scott.

00:37I'm not going to dismiss the UConn Huskies but I will say this, me personally, I'm more

00:42interested in the college scene so far this year than the NBA and I know it's still early

00:46in the NBA, the old, it doesn't start until Christmas and all that so I get that.

00:49I'm not dismissing the NBA as a whole but you just brought it up.

00:53There's some really good college basketball teams at the top of the board right now, Scott.

00:58I'm with you.

00:59I was buying, I was on the Auburn Tigers last night.

01:00I ended up not covering the number but I did hit the over and I went bigger on the over

01:05but I really like this Auburn team.

01:07Duke is the real deal.

01:09Kentucky's a dangerous team.

01:10I know you look at Kansas, they lost last night, yeah, at Creighton but still a very,

01:16very dangerous team at the top.

01:17A lot of these blue bloods are really good this year, Scott.

01:20And I sort of, I was thinking, you know, it's way too early but I think Auburn are definitely

01:25national championship material.

01:27I think maybe, you know, does Bruce Pearl ever get it?

01:30He's one of these guys that's been around forever, he's never won a championship, right?

01:33There's very few college coaches that won championships, guys, actually, if you think

01:37about it.

01:38I think he will.

01:39I think he will.

01:40He's got the talent.

01:41Well, they play defense.

01:42They got offense and defense.

01:43That's what I like about it.

01:44Like, you can't be one, you know what I mean, you can't be one-dimensional and win an NCAA

01:48tournament.

01:49You gotta be good at both ends of the court.

01:51And you know, one thing with Duke, Scott, you know the Cooper flag's only gonna get

01:53better and better and better as the season goes along too, right?

01:56I mean, that's the thing.

01:58Duke are still a work, all these teams are still works in progress.

02:01How about the Michigan Wolverines, Scott?

02:03They went into a cold, we talked about it.

02:05They beat Wisconsin at Wisconsin.

02:09Dustin Mays doing a great job.

02:10He's already taken a team to the Final Four, man.

02:13Listen, if he took FAU to the Final Four, don't tell me he can't take Michigan to the

02:16Final Four.

02:17Yeah, I'm not gonna argue with that.

02:19Here's a couple guys, I know you've heard of them, Dylan Harper and Ace Bailey at Rutgers.

02:22Yeah, yeah.

02:23Rutgers.

02:24They're both, I believe, already.

02:25NBA.

02:26They're NBA, like they're already, I think they're, both of them, you know, I think Cooper

02:31flag is unbelievable basketball player, but I actually, now I know Dylan, right?

02:37I've seen him train every morning where I play ball.

02:40I play at 6 a.m. and this kid's there at 5 a.m. knocking down 100 threes in a row.

02:44It's like nothing I've ever seen.

02:46He's in there with these two trainers busting his ass before he went to Rutgers.

02:49But since he's been to Rutgers, he's had some big games and so has Bailey.

02:53I think they're both, frankly, a step ahead of Cooper Flag at where they are right now

02:59with their bodies and their development and as players.

03:03And I think Flag is insanely good.

03:05You're talking, there are so many great college basketball players right now that are headed

03:10to the NBA.

03:11It's not even funny.
